#whyatt beanstalk

[izztreme-art-n-stuff]

So I had a thought. I'm having many thoughts about Chaotic Overdrive and this is one of them.

There's no context here, they're just about to brawl.

Also I should note that I haven't finished Super Readers' Biggest Adventure yet, nor have I read any of the other stuff in this series. I just saw the Azure Tempest form and went yes.

Azure Tempest form and Super Readers' Biggest Adventure belong to @iheartgod175

Chaotic Overdrive and Super Readers and The Spark of Red go to me

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!

[izztreme-art-n-stuff]

Whyatt and Jack

In a siblings way, ofc

Song: *pops up on my spotify* Me: Oh so Polyverse-

[awfullordhenry]

Is Princess Pea autistic?!

For context, in the episode "Jack and the Beanstalk," Baby Joy, Whyatt's little sister, is having a giant-sized tantrum, and nothing will calm her down! The Super Readers venture up Jack's Beanstalk and meet a real giant. When the Super Readers get into the giant's room, causing him to be loud, Princess Pea pulls out what appears to be sensory headphones

Fanfic Sneak Peek Theater ACT 2: For the Lovers

Super, SUPER sorry it took me forever to get back to the Fanfic Sneak Peek Theaters. Life happened, lol XD But I’m back ^^

Part two of my Fanfic Sneak Peek Theater is, as it’s titled, for the shippers. Including myself XD All of me OG OTPs get a fic to themselves, and I’m super excited to write them ^^

First up is a fic that’s had an insane grip on my brain: Love Language, which is the sequel to my first Multo/Zeeter fic, Heavenly. This story is a collection of vignettes (some long, some short) of how their relationship progresses, and there’s sweetness, bitterness…and even some spiciness. 😏 This story was going to be a three part fic, but things happened, and well…now y’all are going to get five parts. The good thing is, part one is almost done (I’d like to say I have about 70% of it finished). I just need someone to smack me in the head before I keep adding more stuff. XD

Here’s a sneak peek of the cuteness ^^ (taken from chapter 1’s vignette: Awed):

"Wow, you two look gorgeous!" Wizzy was the first to offer her praises, her eyes gleaming with stars.


"Yeah! You look like movie stars!" Wigg said.


Bonnie giggled. "Thanks, you two." She walked up to Bula, noting how his face was slightly red. "And I hope I'll be able to wow them on the red carpet tonight...with my equally handsome plus one."


Bula swallowed hard. "R-Right." He cleared his throat. "Well, we won't be the only good-looking ones tonight, right Multo?" His smile faded slightly when he saw Multo's face. "Um, Multo?"


If Multo heard him, he gave no indication. He stared at Zeeter, mouth open and eyes wide to where she could see the whites, a small blush on his face. Two words escaped his mouth, said in a hushed tone filled with utter surprise and wonder. "My stars..."


Zeeter's heart raced as he slowly approached her. It was the first time in a long time that she'd ever worn proper formal wear...and this was the first time he'd ever seen her wearing it, which she was acutely aware of. And rather than renting this, she'd outright bought it.


Why, she had no idea.


She met his eyes, her own face flushing under his stare.


She had expected him to compliment her in his unique fashion.


What she did not expect was for him to take her left hand in his right, lift it to his lips, and plant a gentle kiss on her knuckles.


Zeeter squeaked.


Everyone else gasped, with Wizzy and Bonnie taking a keen interest in this, practically pushing Bula aside.


Heat equal to the sun flooded her face as he gently looked up at her. She hadn't been prepared for the lightning bolt that hit her when he did that. Nor was she prepared for the look of utter wonder and adoration that graced his face.


"My dear," he breathed, "you look absolutely radiant tonight."


It wasn't enough that he'd kissed her knuckles and made her brain short-circuit. He just had to call her that, too.


She was sure she resembled a cooked lobster by now.

Next up on the list is a small Whyatt/Red ficlet that I’ve been working on. I’ve titled it “Sweet Victory”. And I totally wasn’t thinking of that song, lol XD

Also, flustered Whyatt is always a treat XD

"Whyatt, that's enough chocolate for four people!" She started.


"I know, but I'm gonna share it!" he said. "Please, Mom? I've gotta have it!"


"You do, huh?" Ever the cautious skeptic, Mrs. Beanstalk gave her son a pointed look. "And just what are you buying this chocolate for?"


At that question, Whyatt looked away shyly. "Um...it's for someone special."


That gave Pig pause. Poppa Pig looked at him with one eyebrow raised, an odd look in his eye.


Compared to her earlier demeanor, Mrs. Beanstalk looked absolutely surprised.


"Someone special?" A glint of joy appeared in his mom's eye, and her lips quirked into a smile. "Is it a girl?"


Whyatt looked up so fast, Pig thought his head would fly loose from his neck. "Wha-NO! No way!" he said, shaking his head emphatically, but then paused. "Well, it is for a girl, but she's just a friend, Mom!"


"Mmhmm."


"No, really! It's nothing like that," he said quickly. "I-I just wanted to get her something really nice for her birthday, and I figured she'd like it..."


"It seems you've got a bit of a crush, Why."


"Wha-no I don't!" Whyatt argued, although his face was certainly arguing otherwise. It was turning as red as the candy he was holding.

My last one is a cute little piece that I’ve been working on since earlier this week, for Walden/Widget. @mooshieblue got me back into the pair ^^ The title of this fic is so light-novel esque it deserves an anime adaptation: The Science of Love (Side Note: It Doesn’t Make Much Sense)

"So, ya got anybody in mind?"


"Hmm..." He scratched his chin in thought. The idea of romance was, and still is, a bit of a mystery to him. In fact, while he could deduct it for others, imagining himself having a crush or some other romantic feelings for someone was unthinkable. He wasn't even sure if he could answer her question.


In fact, he was just about to tell her that...when his mind came up with an answer.


You.


His eyes widened.


I like you a lot more than a friend.


His chest suddenly felt tight at the revelation. Where in world had come from?


I've thought about you so much it's driving me crazy.


"My, my, my..." was all he could say as the revelation came clear to him.


"Helloooo? Earth ta Walden, do ya copy?" The smell of machine oil flitted through his nostrils, courtesy of her waving her hand in front of his face. He blinked, snapping out of his reverie. He looked up to see her green eyes narrowed quizzically at him. "Ya spaced out on me for a second there."


"O-Oh. Sorry about that, Widget. I-I, uh...I guess I put a little too much thought into that question."


"As always." She leaned back against the wall with a small smirk. "But ya think you got an answer?"


His mind betrayed him, and the realization made his face heat up to an absurd degree. Like, "center of the sun" degree.


"...I-I'd rather not say..."

If I have any more fluffy romantic stuff, I’ll post them accordingly ^^

But I want to know your thoughts! Which fics are you interested in seeing?

And if anyone leaves any hate, I’ll just use the flames to whip up some more stories for ‘em ^^

[haveyouseenthis-childhoodshow]

Have you seen this childhood show: Super Why! (2007-2016), Canada and United States (English)

Commentary/Context/Memories: No user commentary.

[Mod A: I love how many preschool shows had superhero teams haha. This superhero team’s goal was to improve kids literacy skills and they did so by introducing kids to various famous stories and characters. The team is made of fairytale characters that each have a literacy power: Littlest Pig (power of alphabet), Princess Pea (power of spelling), Red Riding Hood (power of words/rhyming) and Whyatt Beanstalk (power of vocabulary) and Woofster (power of dictionary/word meaning). Together, they have to solve a “super big” problem, question or mystery; they go inside a famous story to solve it. As they move through the plot-line, they use literacy skills to overcome obstacles, which gets them “Super Letters”, which they rearrange at the end of the episode within their headquarters to spell out the answer to their “super big” problem/question/mystery. They also discuss why that word fits the problem/theme of the famous story. I was a huge reader as a little kid (still am!), so I wonder if I would’ve been into this show!]

[fountainpenguin]

Someone asked me to explain Diderot’s Court AU, so here’s a map. Universe sizes not at all to scale.

Denis Diderot was the guy who coined the term Fourth Wall, so of course this AU is based around the concept, “What if cartoon characters knew they were in a cartoon?” Or more specifically, “What if only the characters who’ve broken the Fourth Wall knew they were in a cartoon?”

Which shortly thereafter became, “What if every media universe existed on the same plane of existence, but was divided by various segments of the Fourth Wall that you could walk on top of - or through the hallways inside - and there was a sort of temple to Denis Diderot that functioned as neutral ground?”

This all started while I was writing “Total Drama” fanfics… specifically, when I decided to make Skatoony canon with my actual TD works (most notably “You’re Not Okay”, “Borderline”, and “Mike Can’t Keep His Mouth Shut”, though “Precious”, “Chris Missed”, and “Blue Tiara” reference it to a lesser extent).

And if you know anything about Skatoony, this was an absolutely ridiculous and hilarious choice to make, because Skatoony is a game show where animated characters compete against actual Canadian children (though it’s of course scripted so animated characters only make it past the second round in extremely rare cases). It’s character development gold. Just. Look up “Skatoony Invasion”. That’s Noah’s episode and he is flawless. “Hoo Loves You” is Eva’s and it’s just as glorious.

Obviously I made it a thing that they were competing on neutral ground within the bounds of the Fourth Wall. So in my TD-verse, Showtown (the town where the Skatoony filming studio is canonically located) is an urban legend with a really sketchy history. What’s known is that you supposedly can’t find it at all unless you’ve been sent an invitation… along with a bottle of rectanathre- more commonly known by its street name of cartoon physics pills.

The joke here is that you can’t exist outside your own universe without consuming cartoon physics pills, but if you take them while in your universe, you’re literally invincible. Break a limb? It’ll repair itself in a few seconds. Fall in a volcano? You’ll get better. Very squash and stretch. In “Borderline”, Noah and Beth try to calm down Harold, who is still high on his pills and milking it, after he stumbles back to the film set (a reference to the fact that Harold wasn’t actually invited to Showtown during his Skatoony episode, “Skeleton Crew in Da House”, and snuck off on his own).

… Anyhow, so that’s some background behind “The Fourth Rebel” what with Lincoln being super out of it until he takes his CP pills. There are universes all across the multiverse- many, many more than what I included on the map up there. Every universe with at least one character who has broken the Fourth Wall has a representative on Diderot’s Court- generally the character who breaks the Fourth Wall most, which is why Amanda is the representative for “Bunsen Is a Beast” instead of either Mikey or Bunsen. If breaking the Fourth Wall is indirect and uncommon, you get the lead (Jimmy Neutron) by default.

If you’ve read “Fourth Rebel”, then you know it’s a one-shot about Amanda Killman getting ticked off that Lincoln Loud canonically possesses a remote control that allows him to freeze time. It’s obviously intended so he can “pause” an episode and speak with the audience for a minute, and it’s not something he “technically” has, but when my mind saw him using it, a headcanon was born and there was no going back.

Basically, the Remote of Time is a super powerful artifact that pushes the Fourth Wall to its limits every time it’s used. All the other Nick universes can feel ripple effects, so the Court members know when Lincoln uses it. Since the “Loud House” and “Bunsen Is a Beast” universes are right next to each other, Amanda’s really concerned that the section of the Fourth Wall separating her world from Lincoln’s will shatter, plunging both of them into a vortex.

Her fear is somewhat justified. The smaller the fandom, the less stable the universe, and unstable worlds are prone to crumbling if their neighbors break the Fourth Wall too much; Mac from “Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends” accidentally wiped the “Squirrel Boy” universe off the map in this way. Bruno the Kid lost all but the last shreds of his universe (down in BKN) in a similar manner, and has since devoted himself to repairing breaches in the Fourth Wall and escorting lost souls back to their own universes. Works out, since he was a spy for a global organization in his home ‘verse anyway… He’s the one who started the Court, so now he gets to be a multi-Global agent. He gets by okay and is very proud to retain his (self-appointed) title of Sassiest Creature in the Multiverse.

So if you finished “Fourth Rebel”, you know that Lincoln got pretty upset with Amanda’s accusations that he doesn’t care about his own family or anyone but himself, to the point that he renounced his place in the Court and decided he was going to start a rebellion whose goal is to put doors in all the Fourth Walls, allowing free access between worlds for everyone. This did not go over well with the others. They tossed Lincoln in triangle jail for a time-out because… he can’t break the Fourth Wall and escape if there are only three walls. I’m hilarious.

I have a bunch of other one-shots for this AU too, like Bruno dragging Amanda and Lincoln to the top of their section of the Wall so they can look down on their universes and get some perspective, and some crossover couples like Becky Botsford and Whyatt Beanstalk because I’m absolute trash for my grammar superhero friends hanging out at some Fourth Wall cafes…

Yes, it was a massive political issue for the Court when Jimmy and Timmy broke their Wall in “Power Hour”, thanks for asking.

A Guide to Kid’s Shows

Parenting is a big deal - this is the understatement of the year, decade, century and of all measurable existence. With parenting there is a lot of knowledge to be gained. Some of that knowledge will come from experience, some will come from our own parental figures and the rest will be gained from the internet. Allow me to be a part of the latter source and impart to you one of the most crucial digital tomes of enlightenment you will ever come across…

A Guide to Kid’s Shows!

You think I’m being silly, but in all my years as a graphic designer, there’s one rule that always rings true and strangely enough, applies to what shows you let your kids watch: If you’re presenting a client with options, never give them an option that you hate - Because that is the one option they will love.

Now excluding all of your dumb friends on Facebook and Instagram who do nothing but brag about how their kids never have screen time and they’re always posting happy family pictures of them in parks and on hikes and eating granola out of troughs in some remote Vermont location, the rest of us know that screens are your only hope of keeping your wound up, bratty kids occupied long enough so you can take a 5 minute dump without having to run out of the bathroom mid-wipe with your pants around your ankles to yell at your little ‘angels’ who can’t agree on what color lego castle they’re going to build without slapping each other around like a couple of town drunks. Run-on sentence? Maybe, but it’s just what I’m used to listening to all day in a house where we’ve been attempting to reduce screen time.

Anyway, like I was saying - screens good, noise bad. But this approach can very quickly backfire on you if you’re not careful. Remember, the purpose of television is to keep your kids quiet, but what’s the point of your kids being quiet when you’ve hastily picked the first colorful show you could find and now you’re listening to 4 grown Australians singing about what it’s like to be a Jack-in-the-Box??

EDUCATE YOURSELF! Sanity is on the line!

Because there’s a million shows out there to get suckered into, I’ll just go over 2 for now, a bad one and a tolerable one. I might make this into a series I do… I’ve got 5 years worth of children’s programming eating away at my brain, I might as well write about it.

DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD

Remember all those fond memories you had watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood growing up? The soothing voice and welcoming face of a man everybody wished was their grandfather serenading you while he puts on a colorful sweater and brings you to a magical land of make-believe? … Yeah, he’s dead now and all we’re left with is this oversaturated, poorly animated bastardization of a children’s classic.

Daniel Tiger takes place in the infamous Land of Make-Believe and it stars the son of Daniel Stripéd Tiger (also named Daniel) as he learns how to not be such an obnoxious, spoiled twerp. The show takes some liberties with the classic content. Daniel Tiger’s dad, whom the show refers to as “Dad Tiger” is the grown up version of the Mr Rogers’ character Daniel Stripéd Tiger - who if any of us remember, was a shy, softly spoken kitten who lived in a handless clock tower. Evidently he’s gained some confidence, learned to talk like a man and got himself a wife and kid. Now he lives in an actual house and works at the clock tower doing who knows what – the clock has no hands, what could he possibly be doing in there? I can only imagine it involves lipstick and a skin-suit.

The majority of the other characters from Mr Rogers are all grown up now as well and have annoying kids of their own for Daniel to barely get along with… Except for the mailman who evidently never ages and is cursed to live alone for the rest of his immortal days. The only original character who I haven’t seen make an appearance is Lady Elaine Fairchild, and for what it’s worth, excluding her was probably a smart move - her puppet was made of tears and nightmares.

Why you should avoid: 🎶 Would you like to know why you shouldn’t watch?🎶

🎶 Would you like to know why you shouldn’t watch?🎶

🎶 Would you like to know why you shouldn’t watch?🎶

🎶 Would you like to know why you shouldn’t watch?🎶

Do you hate me yet? …

🎶 Do you hate me yet?🎶

🎶 Do you hate me yet?🎶

🎶 Do you hate me yet?🎶

Yeah, this is the number one reason you should NEVER PLAY THIS ON YOUR TV. They pick a crappy jingle about some common sense thing, like brushing your teeth, and then they sing it OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER AGAIN. I still have episodes burned into my brain from overexposure to that show. One song in particular was just a bold-faced lie. “Grown ups come back”... As in if you’re upset about your mom or dad leaving the house, don’t worry, grown ups always come back!

Except when they don’t.

In addition to the repetitiveness of poorly written songs, the main reason this show will get on your nerves is because Daniel Tiger is literally the cartoon equivalent of a real-life toddler. It sounds mean to say, but think about every cringe-worthy, obnoxious thing your kids do, now imagine having to watch an entire television show where your main character does exactly those things. The whole reason you’re letting them watch TV in the first place is to escape the harsh but undeniable reality that toddlers are the worst!

Now, granted, the point of the show is to teach your kids that everything they do is irritating and they should just stop, but would it kill the producers to use a hint of metaphor? Perhaps a whimsical, make-believe anecdote that teaches a similar lesson? This is the land of make-believe isn’t it?? Why is it so freaking real???

Luckily there’s another magical place that your kids can scramble their brains to that gets it right…

SUPER WHY!

I’m not going to pretend that Super Why! is a good show (children’s entertainment is rarely, if ever, capable of reaching that standard), but it is an incredibly harmless show - which is the most any burnt out parent can really hope for.

As I alluded to a moment ago, the show takes place in the magical land of Storybook Village, a place where all of our favorite fairytale characters live together in harmony. It exists behind some tiny door inside of a real-life children’s library on a shelf that I imagine kids can’t reach because you know if they found out about that door they’d burn that library to the ground to get at it. I always knew I’d find a way to write about kids burning books like a bunch of little fascists. Shark jumped.

Similar to Daniel Tiger, some of our main characters are relatives of more popular characters from children’s stories. Our title character, Whyatt Beanstalk (AKA Super Why) is the brother of Jack Beanstalk from Jack and the Beanstalk... who I’m pretty sure never actually had Beanstalk for a name. Our other characters consist of Princess Pea, who is the daughter of the princess from The Princess and the Pea (who must be a queen now?), Alpha Pig, who I think is one of the 3 little pigs, and Little Red Riding Hood.

Clearly somebody was drunk when they came up with this cast. Why have the brother of Jack and the daughter of Princess Pea, but then just throw in the actual characters of Little Red Riding Hood and one of the 3 Little Pigs? Just use Jack and the original Princess! It makes no sense, I don’t like it.

They eventually get a dog named Woofster who joins their little brat Justice League. He offers nothing to the show and his name is dumb. Let’s just get a cat on the show and name him Meowey while we’re at it.

… Come to think of it, if they could get a wisecracking cat named Meowey Mandel that’d be PHENOMENAL on so many levels. I’m writing to PBS after this.

Anyway, they all have special reading powers which they use to solve mysteries. The basic setup of every episode is one of them has a problem, they’re too dumb to figure out how to deal with said problem, so they transform into superheroes and journey into fairytale books where they solve a mystery and then apply what they learned to their insignificant real-life situation.

Super Why has the power to read, Princess Pea has spelling power, Red Hood has word power, Alpha Pig has Alphabet power and Woofster uses a dictionary. Based on those powers, it sounds to me like they all have the power to read. Why waste money animating 5 of these stupid characters? Scrap 4 of them and put that budget into better writers.

Why it’s tolerable Ignoring the fact I’ve done nothing but pick on this show, it actually won’t really bother you. Everything that annoys me is annoying because I’ve made the mistake of paying attention. You should NEVER pay attention to what your kids are watching. I see no flaws in that advice.

It's a cute show. The jingles are catchy enough, the characters don’t act like bratty kids, and from a visual perspective it’s not offensive to the eyes (I’m looking at you, Bo on the Go… I could write 50 blogs about that Canadian abomination). The show is mostly CG, but when they go into the storybooks, all the people and objects are flat like they were made out of paper. It’s actually pretty creative. Well played, Super Why.

It’s made by the people behind Blue’s Clues (Which I had hoped would have died horrible, embarrassing deaths by now, but alas, they’re still at it) and so there’s that element of characters talking to the viewers and asking them if they see items on the screen. I mean whatever, it engages your kids, but the adult in me is just like, “It’s right behind you. Turn around and look, you’ve got 4 other useless characters with the same superpowers wandering around the screen, why are you bothering my kids?” Before you know it my kids are yelling at the TV, I’m yelling at the TV and Super Why still isn’t turning the eff around! But while my boys are having a blast trying to help Super Why, I’m just getting ticked off and want to punch him in his little kid nuts.

I guess TV won’t give you any peace and quiet after all. Take your kids on a hike.

So, I decided to go back to Super Readers' Biggest Adventure and try to read it fully instead of looking at a few chapters then run off. But this time, I'm deciding to draw some sillies after each chapters if I can, because I can't take things 100% seriously, and this is one I came up with for the first chapter.

Also I'm aware that this is probably not how Muse looks in the story, this is purely how I see her in my head and might not be exact to how the author sees her design.

Anyways, Peter Death Pose funny
